My Painful Life..... Poem by Ravi Sathasivam

There are days, in my life was filled with emptiness
My heart leaked from pain and washed away with sorrows
When I was young, I did not get what I want in my life
At times I was alone and felt with madness
and my tears dropped and were wet into my pillow.
My life had no stairs or ladder to climb up
nor sailed smoothly to the destinations
My life was hopeless and helpless like a man without liver
Life, without life is nothing but shattered dreams
At night, moonlight brightens me across the window
but no one close enough to hug or care for my feelings
Nothing can be done and I have to live with my destiny of life
I watched others who had everything in their life
but it did not bring me jealousy other's than lost in my life
Even a smile on my face was far away from me
Happiness kept me away and darkness hugged me closely
So many broken promises have played deep in my life
and the outcome results was made me to feel so terrible
They say ' You can live the life you were born to live'
But what can I do when I was born there is no life in store for me
Today, what I have learnt is accept your life and
live with it without counting the hatches for nothing.
